THE P A C K *

Moon nodded, moving closer and slowly chewing on the meat. He ate slowly but gracefully, happy to have the food. For once he didn't try to not eat a lot, he ate everything off the bone. "Thank...thank you..." Moon whispered softly, now having a little more energy. He looked up at Myra. "What's....what's your name?" he asked, still weak and using a lot of effort to talk. He shivered, still freezing form the little swim he took.

Chenoa heard the howl in response. Normally, she wouldn't have done anything, she would have faded into silence and made a swift retreat. But she perked her ears and listened, then started howling again, remaining in the same spot, waiting for the other howler to come closer, to see who it could be. She hadn't really been a fan of idle chatter, but howling was different. It was raw and emotional, it was haunting. She stopped for a moment, to hear if the howling would be reciprocated again. And then she howled once more, a mournful sound, a strangely hollow sound. She didn't even know what she was trying to say. She was just saying it.

RipJaw felt kind of... Heartbroken, that Kai kept introducong new she-wolfs in to the Pack, but nonetheless, she had an idea, so she ran out into the forest, and soon, she came back with a family if three deer, she was sure everyone would think of her as very clever and talented, so it wasn't to her suprise, that when she came back to the camp everyone was overjoyed "listen guys... Who's hungry? " she stated, as everyone barked in excitement... Then she realised something... Where was NightPulse? She suddenly heard a massive cry, coming from a small clearing nearby, everyone was shocked by the loud noise, and RipJaw knew it was NightPulse.... "Kai... Can you please come with me to see what that noise was?... I'm very afraid to go alone " she told Kai...

Starberry looked down and walked away. He didn't say anything bad just not the response I wanted thought Starberry. Why did I do that!!! She thought as she kicked the ground with her paw. Starberry heard some howl. She shuddered and froze. It sounded like Chenoa and some other wolf. Uh oh. Starberry started to run where she most heard the sound but then she stopped. She looked around for a second and there her was. The lone wolf that attacked her. She ran the other way immediately . Another wolf from her pack saw what was happening. The other wolf bit the lone wolfs leg. Starberry and the other wolf both made wounds in his neck. He stopped than ran away from the pack. Starberry breathed heavy and noticed she got no wounds from the fight. She was to tired to care what the howling was and sat in the cave.

Kai continued moving silently in the direction of the wolf who was howling, desperately trying to find them. Their howls, so emotional and deep, cutting through his howls, which were empty and lone, like sharp knives. He stopped, leaning forward as he howled again; slow and quiet. There was no message he was conveying - perhaps confusion, perhaps want. He wasn't able to tell exactly, and yet still he moved closer to the messenger. Suddenly, RipJaw appeared by him, the solitude and silence he was running in was destroyed. He turned and looked at her, his stare blank, cold, emotionless. How was he intended to act? For some reason, he felt so empty. "What? Oh, yes, alright, let's go find him." He said, he voice low and hoarse as he spoke. As they turned and trotted off, he couldn't help but look back. He let out a low howl, to tell the other wolf - whoever they were - that he was going. He would discover them eventually. Kai turned his attention back to RipJaw and looked forward. "When was the last time you saw him?" He asked, quickening his pace.

Myra wrapped her tail around her flank and watched him slowly eat the food, her eyes wandering around the pack. She watched as an unfamiliar she-wolf brought in more deer, hunting must have been... plentiful. She wanted to become curious, but instead she decided to feel joy and enjoy the moment. At least no one would be going hungry. Her ears perked up and she looked down at the male on the ground. "Oh, my name? Myra. How about you?" She asked, noticing his muscles tense, he must be cold. But she didn't make an effort to move him, she didn't want to seem odd.

 

[kuchitama001]

"Oh I er... Saw him come back from hunting earlier, then he went off into a clearing and didn't come back!... I'm worried about him..." RipJaw solemnly said... She was disappointed, she felt as if, Kai didn't feel about her as she felt about him...the slow blankness of his stare said it all... He must've not cared for her... But she really liked him and pointed out the clearing in which, NightPulse earlier visited... However as the situation in the clearing developed, Nightpulse was badly injured from a rough fight with Neo-gen, RipJaw quickly rushed into the clearing, "NightPulse!!!, are you okay?! Speak to me!," ranted RipJaw desperately "wait... Was t-that?" "Yes... That... Was... Genezen... He survived and enhanced himself, and now..." NightPulse passed out as he muttered something about a "new leader" RipJaw called into the Pack "Kai?, Starberry? Anyone? We need some help over here!!!!!" Howled RipJaw more frantic by the second...

Upon hearing a commotion building near the den, Chenoa turned and made her way back to where the shouting was coming from. She let out a bark to alert them that she was approaching. As quickly as she could, she rushed over to where NightPulse, RipJaw, and Kai were. "What happened here," she asked coolly, knowing how to keep a level head in these situations. "Calm yourself and explain, if you please." She started examining NightPulse's wounds, hoping that they weren't fatal. She assumed he would be all right, but she couldn't be too sure. If the wounds themselves didn't kill him, the bleeding certainly could. "We need to get some herbs and something to stop the blood flow," she said softly, staring down at NightPulse intently. "Kai, could you direct me to where the herbs grow in this area?"

 

[haleyhashats]

Kai was frantic, his heartbeat growing quicker. Genezen... the name is sounded familiar. Neo-gen. He knew the wolf. The leader of the rival pack, hearing the name caused a growl to spark and he had to stop himself from baring his teeth. Kai looked at NightPulse and gave him a sympathetic bark, "When did this happen?" he asked, circling him, trying to spot out his wounds, which were plentiful - covering his blood matted fur and his limp body. Bringing his ear up he noticed Chenoa approaching and gave her a bark in response, "Herbs? Yes, follow me." He looked back at RipJaw and NightPulse, "Stay there," he barked, quickening his trot, "we'll be right back." As he led Chenoa away from the scene he pointed his nose ahead, allowing it to smell out the rich smells the herbs gave off. He stopped and circled about the area, which was around ten meters in diameter. "This is where we get most of our herbs, there are more scattered about the territory, but they grow plentiful here." He said, sniffing at some of the leaves and roots that sprouted from the ground beneath a tall tree. "Which ones should we take?" He asked, lifting his head to look at her.

 

[tamalover134]

Starberry stared intently at the opening of the cave. Something is happening. She got up and saw NightPulse on the ground harmed. Her mom was a healer she had learned a few tricks from her. It appeared she was attacked and she saw Kai getting herbs."NightPulse do you feel bad to your stomach"She said intensively."When did this happen?"She said more calming. She knew NightPulse was scared so she wanted to be calm. She started to pick up nearby leaves and place them on the wounds. The leaves wound help the wound heal and keep it from some infections her mother always said. "Kai"She said as she looked at him."What happened!!"She yelled at him. She wondered where she got all this anger."NightPulse is badly injured who did this"She said.

 

[YellowJedi]

"I'm...I'm Moon. Nice to meet you." Moon said softly, trying to move slowly into a ball to make himself warmer. The movement cause pain, and a lot of it. He let out a loud yelp before stopping his attempt, then looked at Myra. You...you saved me. Thank you." he said, shivering again. He was still in a lot of pain, the food only helped his energy for speaking and communicating.

Sorry for fail post, I'm in a rush.

 

[Swan_Song]

Chenoa said, "We need to get the herbs that smell like mint. Avoid the ones that smell like lemon, they will cause too much pain in the disinfectant process." She leaned forward and sniffed around, occasionally nipping at the leaves to see which were which. She pulled up a few of the herbs that she needed, then darted back to where NightPulse was. She chewed on the leaves, then spat them into his wounds. "This may sting for a while," she said soothingly, "But they will help keep your wounds from becoming infected, and they will speed the healing process." From living on her own for so long, she'd had to learn to take care of herself, for any sort of injury or illness. "Kai will be bringing more." She then went to look for some large leaves and pieces of bark, so she could apply pressure to the wounds until they stopped bleeding. "Kai," she called, "I'm looking for large leaves and bark. If you see any, please let me know."

 

[kuchitama001]

Suddenly, NightPulse came to, "N-Neo-gen", he stuttered slowly... "no... I've got to stop him..." Yelled NightPulse as he tried to lift himself off of the ground but to no avail, he crashed back down because of the pain and severity of his wounds... "No!!! NightPulse!!! What are you doing?!" Shouted RipJaw in a worried panic, everyone was starting to worry about NightPulse now, and a few wolves were trying to calm him down, "listen RipJaw... It was Genezen... He's survived... And is now half robotic... He is practically Invincible... It's to Dangerous... He's turned... Really Bad... He re branded himself as Neo-gen so no-one would know him... But he's been watching us... Tracking are every move... And is now threatening to lead his army from the south... To our Pack... No... I've got to stop him!!" Nightpulse got up, then collapsed again, he was slipping in and out of conscious he passed out again... A few wolves stood around worried and decided to carry him back to the den...

 

[tamalover134]

"Ok now we need to get water to wash off the wound"Starrberry said as she frantikly scoped up water and slowly drizzled it on the wound. She now really got a good look at the wound. It looked very deep and scared Starberry "No she said to NightPulse calm down." She said. More blood was drizziling out of the wound.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

As Fang explored their pack's territory alone, enjoying the solitude and tranquility it brought him, he paused, his ears perked and alert. Something wasn't right. He could feel it.

Fang listened carefully and sniffed the air, attempting to pick up something that would clue him in. He heard distant barks, voices he recognized from his pack members. He only make out bits and pieces of what was being said. "Wounds . . . Stop him . . . No . . . .", a cry of pain. The hair on Fang's back stood on end. In a black flash Fang took off back to the main grounds sprinting as fast as his long legs could carry him.

He arrived to find Chloe fast asleep in the spot he had left her in hours ago. They seemed to be the only ones at the main grounds of their camp.

Fang nudged her violently. "Chloe wake up!" he barked. She stirred. "Something has happened. There's trouble. Come with me. Now!"

Chloe nodded and stood to her feet fully alert, her heart pumping. With that the siblings took off into the forest in the direction of the others.

 

[Swan_Song]

Chenoa soon returned to NightPulse's side, pieces of bark and leaves in her mouth. With all the tenderness she could muster, she began to press the pieces of bark and the leaves against the wounds, making sure that they were properly compressed, so the bleeding would stop. "Starberry, get me the herbs that smell like daisies. We need to sedate NightPulse for as long as we can, so he won't get up and make his wounds worse," she said calmly, seeming to not have any nerves about the whole ordeal. Inside she was extremely worried, but she knew that to let her emotions take control would lead to trouble. She looked up and saw Chloe and Fang approaching. "NightPulse got into a fight with someone named Genezen. I'm not quite sure who that is, but his injuries are somewhat severe. I'm trying to stop the bleeding by using compression."

 

[haleyhashats]

Kai followed after Chenoa, carrying more of the same herbs. Dropping them next to her, he watched as she took control of the situation and so he stood back, his muscles tense, watching for any potential danger that could approach. Chloe and Fang soon trotted up, he looked at Chloe, watching her swiftly walk up to them and then he looked at Fang, his pace following his sister's. Chenoa explained the situation to them, so he stayed quiet until she was done speaking - but even then he couldn't find the words to say. He stood quietly, hoping everything would turn out all right. Kai wanted to help, but he was better at protection, and was often clumsy with herbs - he didn't want to take a chance and mess anything up.

Myra barked at Moon, telling him to stay still. It was then that she heard the commotion further out of the main grounds. She looked up from Moon and then back down at him. Giving a final sigh, she sat back down next to him and looked at him. It would be better to stay with him, anyways, since it seemed most of the pack was out with the commotion and no one would be here with Moon - and he needed someone to watch him. "Moon, huh? Interesting. Well, it's nice to meet you, too." She said, her eyes moving back from him to the forested woods.

 

[YellowJedi]

Moon frowned, getting the vibe Myra wanted to go with the rest of the pack. "You can go if you want, I'll be fine alone." He lied, his pride taking over him. He didn't want anyone to watch over him, he wanted be strong and get back up on his feet. Slowly, he tried to get up, and collapsed once again. He didn't give up there, he was too stupid to. He tried to get up again, and this time was able to stand for a bit. "I'll...I'll go back with you." he whimpered, in a lot of pain. He slowly took a first step, just trying to get some momentum.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Chloe immediately jumped in to help Chenoa. She leaned in and carefully sniffed the wound as Chenoa applied pressure. "Good you used the mint herbs," she said as her nostrils detected the signature minty aroma. Hole checked NightPulses breathing. He seemed stable, for now, but he was losing too much blood. "His wound is indeed severe. I'm afraid we may have to stitch him up. Even as compression is applied his blood loss is still dangerously rapid." She looked to Kai and then to Chenoa. "What do you think?"

Fang sat next to Kai as Chloe went to work. He couldn't help but feel proud of her. She always was one to step up and help others.

 

[Swan_Song]

Chenoa nodded and said, "I think you may be right. I will go find the herbs to sedate him, if you will get the proper materials needed to stitch him up." She looked at Fang and said, "If you wouldn't mind, could you hold these pieces of bark and leaves down? Kai, I would be much obliged if you would help as well. I can't risk him bleeding to death while we try to gather ingredients." She withdrew herself from NightPulse and went to find the daisy scented herbs. He needed to sleep, or else the stitching would cause excruciating pain. She had known such a pain before, and she didn't wish it upon anyone, not even her worst enemies-- if she'd had any. She returned soon after she'd left, sprigs of herbs in her mouth. She forced them into NightPulse's mouth, forcefeeding the medicine to him, making sure it went down his throat. "Chloe... I don't think I will be able to do the stitching. I know this is troublesome but... will you stitch him up?"
